BMW is recalling an estimated 176.000 of its four-cylinder, gasoline-powered vehicles from the 2012-2014 model years because of potential problems with the power brakes, the German car manufacturer stated.

The affected BMW models, because of insufficient lubrication to a vacuum pump, can lose the power assistance when braking. A BMW spokesman said the driver can still stop the car in the event of a loss of power braking, but it will surely take more force on the brake pedal.

The models involved in the recall all have the turbocharged four-cylinder, 2-liter gasoline engines.
